No, this is not spam
Despite the new look, this is still a Windscribe email. We didn't sell your address to spammers - we do our own spamming, of our own products, thank you very much.
So what's so important? Well, some of you know that we've been working on a *puts on Steve Jobs turtleneck* revolutionary product called Control D. It's the ultimate DNS management tool: easy to use, powerful, and incredibly customizable - giving you full control of your networks and devices. This has been available to power-users for a while now. Very recently, we've released a version geared at big fancy pants Organizations. Read on to see why you should care.
WTF is Control D
The best damn web filtering and security platform you've never used, that's what. Let's learn about it, shall we? Here are the top 5 things you need to know.
1. DNS is Hard - We Made it Easy
Virtually every malicious attack starts with a DNS query. However, bad things can't reach your device if they don't resolve.
Control D for Organizations allows you to enforce complex DNS policies on fleets of devices in literally minutes. Here are some other buzzwords you may be familiar with:
- Multi-Tenancy - group your departments or customers (if you're an MSP)
- Mass Provisioning - deploy Control D on 1000s of endpoints via RMM, in literally minutes
- Multi-user Access - grant different permissions to your team members
- Analytics - maintain DNS query and admin change logs for compliance
- SIEM Integration - stream DNS queries into any SIEM for further analysis
2. Block Malware With a Single Click
Some people will click every link they see. Sometimes those links are bad, and can result in a compromise. Control D blocks malicious domains using a 3-tier blocking system, including in-house machine learning models. You can block other things too, like porn, Minecraft, TikTok, and everything in between. There are over 850 web services to choose from! Bad stuff can't reach your devices if it doesn't resolve.
3. Yes - There Are Apps
Despite not needing apps to use a DNS service, they certainly make things easier, especially for large deployments. Here are some cliff notes on what's new with the apps:
- iOS and Android apps now support DNS-over-HTTPS/3.
- iOS app now supports "OS Native" setup - no "fake VPN" needed.
- All apps now support Prevent Deactivation functionality.
- ctrld cli daemon has been updated (v1.3.6) to support Windows Server, newer Ubiqiti products, as well as many bug fixes and added support for self-upgrading and cache flushing. Windscribe apps use this DNS daemon under the hood.
4. Get Very Granular
Create rules for any website, service, platform or domain. These come in two flavors: standard custom rules and Geo Custom Rules which use geo-location data that's associated with the source IP that made a DNS query, as well as destination IPs that the query resolves to.
With these rules you can create advanced blocking and redirection behaviors that will make your head literally explode with joy. Maybe not literally...
5. It's Fast As F@ck
Control D is built on top of a bespoke anycast network, which is in the top 3 fastest (lowest latency) DNS resolvers worldwide. This means you don't have to sacrifice performance for features.
Other Additions
- Added 500 new Services
- Added multi-mode Adult Content Filter

There is much more, you can click on the link below and see what else is new, and what we're working on next.
Much Wow, Very Impress
Now let's cut to the chase - you can get started with Control D right now, no payment required while on a trial (personal or organization use). If you need someone to give you the grand tour of the platform, please request a demo and someone will get back to you.
